Did anyone notice the zombie who resembled the plaid airport zombie from Dawn Of The Dead?

Hell yeah, totally awesome! You know Nicotero threw that in there. I wonder if there have been any other GAR references in the show?

Last night’s episode was easily the best episode of the 3rd season. Fantastic character driven episode, shot beautifully, and still delivered awesome zombie carnage. Perfect. It’s sad to seem Merle go, but I think it was for the best. Now we’ll see Daryl truly evolve and I have a feeling he is going to have an important role (as will Michonne) in the demise of the Governor. The season finale should be astonishing. I only wish it was a 2 hour episode.

I hated the second season, and was about to give up the series, but thankfully the third have been pretty damn good, with more zombie mayhem, more interesting characters, and also most of the main characters have shaped up. And I hated almost every one of them in season two for just being annoying and insanely stupid. I´m glad some of the worst have been killed of by now, like the wife. But it was sad to see Rookers character go, as he was my favorite of the bunch.

All things considered, a pretty underwhelming ending to a great season. Maybe they used up the budget on gore earlier on, but did anybody else notice that they really wimped out last night? Every single scene of violence

Spoiler:

Andrea getting bit by Milton, then shooting herself, the kid shooting the other kid, the Governor executing his army. You kind of see Milton getting stabbed, but barely.

was off camera. I don't mind that kind of thing usually, but this is The Walking Dead where they usually pride themselves on delivering the goods. What the hell?

100% agree with this.

Even gore aside, the episode was, dare I say ... kinda boring.

also ...

Spoiler:

the raid on the prison was action filled, total rambo/macho, but how they ran away like scared children because a couple of people were shooting at them (missing horribly btw) was ridiculous imo. At least fight it out for a little while.

Spoiler:

Yeah, but it was realistic that they would be so skittish. Most of what was left of the hardened soldiers were killed by Merle and these were all draftees.
